Because that worked out so well....

Less than 10 years after Sulla was dead the republic was run by bleeding Crassus and Pompey.

Sorry (ok maybe not) but Godot uses an internal script that resembles Python, with optional .net bindings.

The .net bindings are c# native.

You could use f#, but if you're still learning the ropes that's setting yourself up to fail, since it'll limit the use of documentation and add a high hurdle to clear

It takes less fuel to eject him out of the solar system. No need to be wasteful.

For me this is the crux of the issue:

To Galloway, neither the left nor the right — which can seem compelling to rudderless young men — are providing a genuine alternative. “The far right conflate masculinity with cruelty,” he says, referencing Tate and Vladimir Putin. “The far left thinks that men should, quite frankly, act more like women. Neither of those is productive.”

Men, especially young men, today are stuck in a no man's land where they know that the toxicity of the past is not what's socially acceptable, but no one's giving them a model of what they can be. They are collateral damage of the culture wars.

Andrew Tate (just writing that name feels dirty) and his clique are exploiting this to cultivate hate and toxicity, but the traditional feminist approach that "Men should get in touch with their feminine side" will leave them isolated socially from their peers and emotionally.

The middle road will not be feminine and won't be the traditional masculine role that's still very present in culture, but will be a place where men can confidently own their vulnerability.

Edit: spelling

Just checked on google, it's slang for prostitution.

My bet is that in 2 years we'll see a stark devide in talent in traditional Vs remote first companies with the latter getting pick of the litter so to speak.

Clearly enough are that this problem is pervasive accross several police forces. It's clearly the case in the US, and we have a similar problem with the Police National in France (bizzarly, the Gendarmerie who performe policing outside the cities and are a part of the armed forces seem to have far less issues in this regard...)

Technically it's their client that's putting the thumb screws to them.

If that's the case the logical solution is to put your commercial hat on and find another client. Amazon aren't the only ones paying.

If Amazon was your only client that'll be tough, but speaking from experience if you don't diversify your client base, you're living on borrowed time anyway.

This doesn't mean Amazon are not being abusive, but the solution isn't to moan on the internet.

Don't worry, it's business insider India, nothing to do with the reputable site.

And honestly I prefer the lemmy experience which has soo much less toxicity.

I'm going to scratch a pet peeve here, but I feel that a lot of the issues come down to what is essentially bad marketing.

Using the term 'feminist' to describe pushing for gender equality and an end to gender based discrimination (and according to certain schools of thought men can't even be feminist but can only attain the lesser rank of "ally").

Using the term 'masculinist' to mean, not pushing for gender equality and an end to gender based discrimination but rather as a synonyme for misogynist.

Using the term 'toxic masculinity' which has been applied to toxic behaviors by people of all genders.

Using the term 'patriarchy' to define the old gender normes that hurt every one, men, women and other genders alike.

If we want to reach the young buys today we have to stop (even subconsciously) gender shaming them but rather showing them what it really means to be a man in 2023: A man who is present at home and at work, who shares in running the house and taking care of the children (not just "educating" them when their older, which is an outdated and frankly toxic trend), showing them also how to be vulnerable. A man who supports his partner, respects his/her boundaries but also makes sure his own boundaries are respected. A man who stands up for what he believes is right.

In short we need to give positive examples and role models.

If we don't show them a path to what they can become, and how they can grow and flourish, they will be easy pickings to people who lure them in with false promises of simple solutions.

Yes and no.

The simple fact that you're not using IE6 on MSN with Bing search to access a Windows server is more or less proof that the constraints placed on Microsoft at that time did actually have an impact (even if I felt robbed that the company wasn't split up at the time).

Today the one thing Microsoft is still dominante in is Office software (and even then Google docs is snapping at their heals).

OS? Android is more popular than windows Server OS? Linux rules the roost Browser? Chrome

The company that really needs scrutiny ATM is Google.
